The Best Chinese and South East Asian Restaurants in Melbourne's Chinatown
"Named after a traditional Chinese dance, Flower Drum was established by Gilbert Lau, who wanted to create a fine-dining experience where Australians could taste true Cantonese cuisine. Originally opened on Little Bourke Street in 1975, Flower Drum now sits on Market Lane and features a sprawling dining room as well as private rooms ideal for functions. The highly distinguished restaurant is now led by Executive Chef Anthony Lui, who skillfully executes the 13-page menu, ensuring that every guest leaves with their palate abuzz."

12 iconic restaurants for your bucket list
"The retro-glam decor recalls Flower Drum Restaurant’s pinnacle when expense-account lunches were OTT and posh restaurants were few in Melbourne. Yet this Cantonese restaurant is still among the city’s finest, scoring two hats in the 2020 Good Food Guide. From Peking duck to roast suckling pig, delicate flavours and seasonal produce combine to create a decadent menu that will not disappoint."

"ToorakThe gist: Imagine sexy French waiters in white waistcoats, that passionately open Chenin Blanc while rolling their eyes at you as if you ask for anything but medium-rare. Their wine list is a bound folder, and their menu is A3 and laminated, but underneath the novelty of it all is just good old-fashioned French comfort food, cooked to perfection with many dollops of butter. The food: French bistro comfort food.The cost: You can spend as little or as much as you’d like to at France-Soir."

16 Best Steak Restaurants In Melbourne For Your Next Lads' Dinner
"When it comes to searching for a juicy Melbourne steak, France Soir should be one of the first names that spring to mind. This South Yarra favourite is the burly elder statesman for Melbourne’s meat lovers – dependable, powerful, and truly a master of the game. There’s plenty to chew on at this eternally busy French institution, from the $22 snails served swimming in garlic butter, to the $26 calamari with chorizo and jalapenos."

Inside, you’ll find purposefully wonky interiors that somehow work, craft beers on tap and meat-free Israeli food offerings. The menu is completely vegetarian and vegan, serving up salads and Israel classics like tabbouleh and house-made falafel and hummus."

"Meyers Place, CBDThe gist: An Argentinian restaurant tucked within the European end of Melbourne’s CBD. Their menu centres around the Spanish ethos that food is an experience shared between friends, family and lovers. The decor is dimly-lit yet somehow still vibrant, with a dark sexy feel, much like the Argentinian Tango tbh.The food: Think smoked meats, tapas-style plates and fresh, colourful fruit and veg elements. Rich with a cellar of Spanish reds and a 2.5 metre Parrilla charcoal grill, San Telmo delivers true to its roots; named after the oldest neighbourhood of Buenos Aires."

The best South American restaurants in Melbourne
"This gaucho steakhouse run by a bunch of Melbourne hospo gringos lays its carnivorous scene at the entrance, where some impressive bits of cow sit dry ageing behind glass. The people have spoken, and the people want meat. They want meat in a lair that’s just like being transported to Buenos Aires, where cowhide in its various forms covers the menus and every other available surface."

"RichmondOpening March 4, the Commune Group introduces a remixed version of its Swan Street restaurant New Quarter, bringing a fresh take on ‘Melbourne Vietnamese’ to Richmond’s bustling dining scene in a new identity that is textural, impulsive and alive. Located on the iconic corner of Swan and Lennox Street, the new light menu has been led by Head Chef Scott Lord (Tokyo Tina, Cumulus Inc, Sunda Dining), reinventing traditional Vietnamese with a “Melbourne twist”. Expect things like Banh Mi fingers, grilled short rib, Nước chấm caviar and beef tartare."

The restaurant located on the prominent corner of Swan and Lennox street, once known for its street food vibes and takeaway, has relaxed its offering releasing a shorter, tighter menu led by Head Chef Scott Lord (Sunda Dining, Tokyo Tina and Cumulus Inc).

"A bakery is always a good option for breakfast, but Ned's Bake is so much more. Yep, you can pick up delicious fresh loaves of sourdough and mouth-watering baked goods, but it's well worth sticking around to peruse the brunch menu. We're talking marscapone pancakes, spanner crab salad, brioche french toast, or cured trout."

The Melbourne Galleries to Visit When You’ve Already Seen NGV
"For a really quirky interaction with Melbourne’s artistic scene, head to the eastern suburb of Kew to Lyon Housemuseum. The gallery consists of two distinct sections; the first being the original house museum, which is where founders Corbett and Yueji Lyon live and which can only be visited on pre-booked tours held on certain days of the year. The second space is the newly-opened public Housemuseum Galleries."
